✝️ JESUS IS LIFE: REST IN THE ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE! ❤️

What if the life you've been working so hard to build could never truly satisfy you? What if the peace you've been searching for comes not from what you accomplish, but from what Jesus has already done?

Last Sunday, Pastor Tim continued our series through 1 John, preaching from 1 John 5:6–13 and reminding us of one of the most important truths of our faith: Real life is found in Christ alone.

We spend so much of our lives trying to work our way to fulfillment, peace, and security through our own efforts. But no matter how hard we try, we fall short. We need something, and Someone, greater than ourselves.

God has defeated death to save His people! Through Jesus' death and resurrection, He has put to death everything that stands in the way of true life. Our salvation doesn't depend on our ability. It rests on the trustworthiness of God and the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Our response? Repentance and rest. Turn away from trusting in ourselves and rest in what Jesus has already accomplished for us.

The promises life to all who believe. That truth should give believers tremendous assurance. We don't have to live in constant fear or uncertainty. We can trust and rest in His grace.

But this incredible news isn't meant to stay with us. The assurance of eternal life should move us to share the message of Jesus with others. The hope we've received is the hope the world desperately needs.

So ask yourself: Are you resting in what Jesus has done, or are you still trying to earn what only He can give?

Jesus is life. Trust Him. Rest in Him. Share Him.

🙏 Come visit us this Sunday!

Join us at Sovereign Grace Church of Pasadena as we worship together, study God's Word, and grow in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Whether you're new to church or looking for a church family, we'd love to welcome you!

❤️ BORN OF GOD: FAITH, LOVE AND OBEDIENCE ❤️

What does it mean to be “born of God”?

This Sunday, Pastor Tim continued our series through 1 John, preaching from 1 John 5 and reminding us that God gives those who trust in Christ a completely new identity: we are born of God.

And that new identity changes the way we live.

Faith, love, and obedience are inseparably connected. They aren't three separate pieces of the . When God changes our hearts, our faith produces love, and genuine love produces a desire to follow God's commands.

That might sound strange to the world. The world often separates love from obedience. But Scripture shows us something different.

To love God is to walk in His commands.
To love our brothers and sisters is to live in obedience to God.

And that means the local church matters.

If someone says they love God but has no need or desire for the family of God, that should cause us to pause. We aren't meant to follow Jesus in isolation. God has made us part of a spiritual family, and we demonstrate our love for Him by loving His people.

Jesus gave us the greatest commandment: and .

Our obedience doesn't earn God's love. Rather, because we have experienced God's love, we respond by trusting Him, following His commands, and loving those He has placed around us.

And there is good news in all of this: faith in Jesus gives us victory over the world and over sin. We don't have to live according to the patterns of the world. Through faith and love, God gives us the strength to walk in a new way because we have been made new in Christ.

Born of God. Loved by God. Called to love God and love others.

We'd love for you to join us this Sunday at Sovereign Grace Church of Pasadena as we continue our journey through 1 John.

Come worship with us, hear God's Word, and experience the encouragement and fellowship of a church family seeking to follow Jesus together.

🍂🔥 WHAT A GREAT FALL BBQ! 🍔❤️

What a wonderful afternoon of food, fun, , and family at our annual Sovereign Grace Church of Pasadena Fall BBQ!

From the delicious food and games to the kids having a blast in the splash zone, it was a great day of simply being together and enjoying the gift of .

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen! From those who coordinated the event and handled all the logistics, to those who cooked, prepared food, set things up, cleaned up, organized games, and helped make sure everyone felt welcome, we are incredibly grateful for all the time and effort that went into making the afternoon such a success.

And of course, thank you to the Lee family for opening their home and allowing our church family to gather together!

❤️ GOD’S PERFECT LOVE: A LOVE THAT CASTS OUT FEAR! ❤️

What does it mean to truly love? And where do we find a love that never fails, never runs out, and isn't dependent on our circumstances?

Last Sunday, Pastor Tim continued our series through 1 John, from 1 John 4:7–23 and reminding us of the incredible, unconditional .

God didn't just tell us He loves us. He demonstrated His perfect love by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us. While the world's version of love is often selfish and conditional, God's love is self-sacrificing, limitless, and life-transforming.

And here's the amazing truth: isn't dependent on our circumstances. He has overcome the world, and as Romans 8:32 reminds us, if God gave us His own Son, we can trust Him to graciously give us all things.

God's perfect love also casts out fear! When we truly understand how deeply God loves us, we can face life's uncertainties with confidence, knowing that He is always with us.

So where do we find genuine love? By remembering and celebrating all that God has done for us and trusting in what He will continue to do. We can never repay God's incredible love, but we can let it overflow from our hearts and pour out into the lives of others.

We love because !

Whose voice are you listening to?

Every single day, countless voices compete for our attention. Some are loud and obvious; others are subtle and quiet. But just as financial attempt to steal your hard-earned money, there are spiritual forces actively seeking to your heart and mind.

In last Sunday’s sermon on 1 John 4:1–6, Pastor Tim reminded us that we are engaged in an ancient for what we believe. The stakes could not be higher, which is why the Apostle John commands us to "test the spirits.”

So how do we exercise and guard against deception? We look for two clear marks:

1. Do they joyfully confess ? True teachers and faithful voices do more than just say the name of Jesus. Their lives and teaching demonstrate joyful submission to Him as Lord, exalting Him as God come in the flesh to save us from our sin.

2. Do they listen to the Apostles? aligns with the apostolic witness preserved in Scripture. Those who belong to God humbly submit to His Word, while the world resists it.

Left to our own strength, we are weak. But here is the good news: He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. The gives us the discernment and strength to reject the enemy's lies and rest in the truth of Jesus Christ.

Take some time this week to reflect:

What voices are shaping my daily thoughts and deepest beliefs?

Does the content I consume point me toward joyful submission to Jesus, or toward self-worship?

Am I anchoring my mind in the truth of God’s Word?

We’d love to have you join us this coming Sunday as we continue learning, worshiping, and growing together in Christ!

What do you do when your heart condemns you?

Last Sunday at Sovereign Grace Church of Pasadena, Pastor Tim continued our series through the letters of John, from 1 John 3:19–24 and reminding us that even when our hearts accuse and condemn us, than our hearts and He knows everything.

The Christian life can sometimes feel like a little child learning to walk. We stumble, we fall, and we wonder if we're really going to make it. But just as a loving parent reaches out a hand to steady a child, , protecting, encouraging, and strengthening us as we grow in faith.

Our hearts will sometimes condemn us. That's part of living in a fallen world and recognizing our own sin. And God takes our sin seriously. In fact, He sees our sin more clearly than we do. But here's the beautiful truth: God also has more , more grace, and more love than we can comprehend.

He can quiet our anxious hearts and recalibrate them back toward Him. about you—and He still calls you to come to Him.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our study through 1 John. Come with us, hear , and find encouragement alongside a community of believers learning to trust Jesus through every season of life.

We'd love to have you join us!
